let the rain fall down

Rain echos off the window As I sit here and think Everything seems to be so wrong And the rain just helps me know Helps me know that nothing is right My faith is gone My heart beaten and broken I cry out screams that are never heard The rain brings the darkness The darkness shows me its all true There is nothing out there I reach for a helping hand But feel nothing in this world I feel so lost Wondering looking searching not finding I’m nothing to this world A disappointment is all I’ll ever be I try to do whats right I try to make you all so very proud I push myself beyond my limits I cry myself to sleep so many nights Tears stain my pillow case I don’t know were else to turn Im so afraid that this life is nothing That I am worth nothing at all I try to make myself important But I know deep down I’m not I let them all walk all over me Cuz then I know someone needs me That’s all I want in this world I want to be needed and wanted I want to be cared for I want to be able to love with no regret But that will never happen I sit here listening to the rain echo off the window I wonder if I’ll ever mean anything I want to love but I know I cant I want to feel feelings but I cant I let the rain drain out my thoughts The echo of the rain over powers the sound of my cries Maybe I’ll try one more time But what if I fail I guess that’s something I have to think about So for now let the rain fall down on me Let it capture me Let me become part of the rain Let me be needed
